Race to the Bottom, Drop Dead Red, and The Kelps

Sacramento’s Race to the Bottom are four guys who never imagined they would be in a band together. But, somehow, their mash-up of musical backgrounds and influences works to make the band’s sound – shaped primarily by ’90s, alternative, and modern rock – distinctive.

Drop Dead Red is a boisterous, soulful band and one of a kind here in Sacramento. DuHain’s Joplin-esque vocals are chilling and sensual as her band fills the room with sound. They’re one hell of a “drinking band,” too; these guys will have your glasses raised and your senses tingling.

The Kelps play songs about sin, magicians, and girls they once knew. They play loudly (sometimes softly) and with every ounce of honesty theycan muster.
